My new dash idea
Ok, so after doing a bit of research and looking around, i've located some resources that will enable me to create a fully digital dash, without having to custom make anything myself. Everything can be ordered.
First off, the gauge bezel. www.florida50.com comes in handy for this.
Probably this one, but just the bezel. I will not be using the gauges shown.
Next, we need speedo & RPM gauges.
Then we need water temp & volts.
Keep in mind, I can order all these in blue.
Then we need fuel level and oil pressure.
any thoughts?
Total cost of this project, would end up being around $1500, all told.

RE: My new dash idea
get a data logger and you can do the same thing with a laptop on the passanger seat you can set th logger to log all info and show raw live data on screen for the parameters you want to see my friend had one in his car
this way its like th F&F it willlet you know when you are going to have manifold damage so you can let off before your floor starts falling out and bould start coming out the heat vents LOL

RE: My new dash idea
i'm only looking to replace the factory dash with a unique look. i dont want laptops or anything in the car while i'm driving. only for tuning, if i even stay EFI.
i can also get fully digital gauges for anything else i wish to monitor, from oil temp to EGT.

matt, that first pic with the gauges looks 100x better than the digital ones you showed. really, digital gauges like that are totally lame. they dont belong in sports cars. sports cars need to have needles damnit
